artist only art in reaction


went on line

maybe find

inspiration for a rhyme

read about f.b.i

searching for a teen

feared to have been abducted

gang raped

and fed to alligators

 

WTF?!

 

and people think i have issues

 

woody allen said,

“two wrongs don’t make a right

but three left turns do”

 

i walk in the darkness

so thick you can feel it

touch it, taste it

and yet even in an alley

without any light

i can see i have two shadows

 

the only music i listen to are

modern noir songs

the aftermath of mazzystar

but not quite as high

on mount olympus

 

oh by the way

your phone fucking annoys me

if we are defined by the obsession

in our hand

then i stand accused

of being obsessed with female breasts

 

i hope you weren’t thinking i’d make sense

i’m just walking on this cold l.a. night

well,

cold for los angeles

and once again

not sure where i really am

 

don’t really care

plenty of cigarettes

couple of pints packed away

 

oh yeah

 

i’m on the dark streets of decay

which i’ve never walked with anyone but me

kind of like masturbation

except sometimes i copulate with concrete

when i pass out incoherent in some

forgotten alley

 

wake up without a tally

because i know time doesn’t exist

it’s just how we interpret

the results of the rotation and revolutions

happening in a hemisphere

nowhere near here

 

my cat is neat

licks herself on the couch

slouched

actions speak louder than words

and her actions are that there are

no problems when all you concern

yourself with are the demands

of your own wants

 

but i was never very good at school

lessons to be learned

i couldn’t discern

while i stared at my teacher’s breasts

some ignored me

some just smiled

but all this guile

didn’t stop them from giving me an F

on my test

 

because i only studied the material

of their maturity

finding nothing else on the curriculum

interested me

 

because even at thirteen

poetry was meant for the possession

of pulchritude

 

these damn lighters from the marijuana dispensary

sent free, with every weed delivery

are so cheap

making it difficult to light cigarettes

 

first world problems

 

but then again

all art is a sin

to those who don’t

take it on the chin

and fathom that self-expression

is a daily act of being born again

diagnosed with multiple personality

disorder

when you thought all you were doing

was sorting through the emotions

that everyone else ignored
